Key questions include, • Is the contractor fit for purpose? • Is it offering value for money? • Is it effective before the LINk is even established? • Can it meet the needs of the LINk? Patient and Public Involvement Solutions has a tailored support package to help Local Authorities build a programme of performance management that enables LINks to flourish whilst also ensuring the contract is effective and continues to offer value for money over the full three years.
